Tarot Cards are among the more daring Cursed Possessions you can encounter in *Phasmophobia*. They offer potent effects, but using them is a gamble. When you spot Tarot Cards during your investigation, it's wise to use them in a secure area, such as near a hiding spot or the entrance. This way, if you draw a dangerous card like Death, you'll have a better chance of escaping unscathed.

Each card in the deck has a unique ability that activates instantly upon drawing. Occasionally, you might draw The Fool, which mimics another card before revealing itself as harmless. You can draw up to 10 cards from the deck, and drawing them won't affect your sanity. Duplicates are possible, and each will trigger the same effect.

Here's a breakdown of the 10 different Tarot Cards you might encounter:

The TowerDoubles ghost activity for 20 seconds20%
The Wheel of FortuneThe user gains 25% sanity if the card burns green; loses 25% sanity if the card burns red20%

What are Cursed Objects (Possessions) in Phasmophobia?

Cursed Possessions, also known as "Cursed Objects," are intriguing items in *Phasmophobia* that randomly appear on contract maps, influenced by difficulty settings or Challenge Mode. Unlike standard equipment, which helps safely identify the ghost and gather evidence, Cursed Objects offer shortcuts to manipulate ghost behavior, albeit at a higher risk.

The decision to use these objects lies with you and your team. There's no penalty for avoiding them, nor a specific reward for using them. Each contract features one Cursed Possession, which always appears in a set location unless modified in Custom settings. For instance, the Voodoo Doll is consistently found in the Garage at 6 Tanglewood Drive.

There are seven types of Cursed Objects available:

  • Haunted Mirror
  • Voodoo Doll
  • Music Box
  • Tarot Cards
  • Ouija Board
  • Monkey Paw
  • Summoning Circle

This guide covers the essentials of using Tarot Cards in *Phasmophobia*. For more detailed guides and the latest updates on the game, including how to unlock all achievements and trophies, keep exploring The Escapist.
